F-150 X CAB 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 212,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I was just going into have my back operated on and about 2 months after I got the truck. It started to be dead after about 2 days of no use. This was a local company truck and is extremely clean.

They removed a strobe and a business radio. I have put a test light on the pos. post and disconnected the cable from the post. I then put the other end of my test light on the pos. cable. It shows a draw. So I started pulling fuses trying to isolate the circuit. If that had happened the test light would go off when the fuse is pulled and that would be the bad circuit. I separated the starter cable and the alt. line and the draw is still there. The loom goes between the right fender and the batt. id like to know if this is a problem that is unique to this truck.

I have a road service company, working mostly on semi's and truck rental trucks when they break down. I don't mind telling you that I'm having a hard time finding the draw. I bought this truck to serve as an extra truck to back up my S1654 international. My last nightmare was an F550 with a 6.0 and we know what happens to them.

I need some help. I'd like to have a direction to go, and oh by the way I'm recovering from a disc replacement and a fusion. I've been driving the international for 27 years, wouldn't it be wonderful if Ford could build something that reliable ? I'm not a happy guy.

Why in the hell would you discontinue a part for a vehicle that's only 10 years old. What the hell am I suppose to do???? Never had any serious problems with my truck until this sh*t happen. Now I got to wait until someone crashes their 2005 F150 4.6 engine with the fuse box I need. Been to several junk yards and all over the internet trying to find this part and I haven't had any luck yet.. Pissed the hell off and this is my only vehicle and I cant afford another one...,,
